In Europe, free-standing blocks of soil, rather than peat pots or seed flats, are almost universally used for starting vegetable and flower seeds. No containers are needed. To make the soil blocks, just fill a blocker with thoroughly moistened potting mix (Quickroot Soilless Potting Mix is perfect), set the blocker on a seed flat, and release. With one stroke you’ll create multiple soil blocks, each with a small depression in the top for the seed. When the seedlings are ready, plant them in the ground or bring them along further by dropping the soil blocks into openings in the tops of larger soil blocks (all discussed in the product descriptions). It is important to keep the soil blocks well watered with a fine mist. Imported from England, our soil blockers are the highest quality on the market.

I've shopped around for this brand in the US and this is the best value I've found for an extremely well made tool that should last decades of seasons.
A great tool for making consistent seed blocks. Looking forward to many years of service out of this.
I absolutely love this soil blocker! It is the perfect way to efficiently save space while growing the most healthy little seedlings. Highly recommend for anyone planning to start lots of seeds.
This tool is well made and I look forward to many years using it. Make sure you use Eliot Coleman's soil blocker recipe so your blocks stay together. The 3/4 blocks will work for most seeds except for really big ones.
Our first time using these and they are fantastic!
Let customers speak for us
from 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
